I have stalked Realself for the last year. Thank you all you ladies who shared your experience it really helped me make my decision. So hopefully my review will help someone. I have been talking about getting implants since I was 18. Thats 17 years of me going on about it! Anyway life happens and it just wasn't in the books. I thought by some miracle after I had babies I might be like the rest of my family and finally get boobs. HA! Yeah that didn't happen. Instead my once small perky boobs became small deflated boobs. :-(
I have always been small. I am currently a 34A and that still gaps in bras. When I was breastfeeding I went up to a 36D. Oh and did I love them!
So when we moved to NC from Alaska (my husband is in the military) I really researched Dr's. I didn't want to travel too far for the procedure. I narrowed it down to two Dr's that I really liked their work. Unfortunately the one I really liked had to cancel my consultation and wouldn't be available until mid Nov and that was when I was hoping to have the procedure. My husbands schedule is really difficult to work with and I really wanted to make sure I have enough time to heal before I am left alone with the kids.
I panicked and thought I should really try to see more then one Dr. So I started trying to make appointments with Dr's I was "ok" with their work not "in love with". I even booked one and office staff were so pushy and not very friendly they put me off. Luckily I have a great friend who told me not to waste my money and cancel it. So I only went to see Dr. Davis in Raleigh. I kind of new going to the consultation I was probably going to book the procedure. I did panic a few days later after I had paid the deposit. I have really researched and looked at the good and bad. I almost cancelled one day. I know that it is not a one time thing and I am concerned about the health risks. I feel like its now or never if I think that they are harming me in any way I will get them removed. I have decided I will definitely be getting Saline implants and I am considering getting the Ideal implants. I am just not sure if the warranty is good enough. Otherwise I would not even think about it I would get them.
I am very petite. 5'3" 106lbs 34A no upper fullness. Want to be a C cup.
Looking at getting 300-350cc's still not sure will ask the Dr what he suggests at the pre-op

For some reason the 360cc simulation picture didn't load before.
I tried rice sizers because even though the 3D imaging gives you an idea of how the implant will look I still have a hard time picturing how they will look on me with clothes. I really don't want a fake look but also do not want to regret getting too small a size. I was thinking 330cc's would be the safe choice and after doing the sizers which were 325cc's I thought they were a good size. But I have read that if you like a size with rice sizers you should add 30-50cc's because they will be going under the muscle and not look as big. So now I am really considering going around 350cc's. I am hoping my Dr will look at my wish pics and be able to tell me yes this is the size to go with. I was not told anything like this is the max cc's or we recommend this size for your body shape at my consultation. I was told that they like you to look at the 3D imaging and you decide what you want. Then at the pre-op you meet with the Dr and make all the final decisions. I am getting nervous but very excited! Just want to make sure I pick out what will really suit my body.

I went to this appointment hoping to show Dr Davis my wish pics and decide on a size and projection. I met with the nurse and she went over all the details of the surgery and after care. I told her I had yet to decide on weather I was going with the Ideal implant or regular Saline implant because I didn't know what the new warranty offer on the Ideal implant was yet. Also that I was confused on size as the Vectra imaging didn't let me see how it would look with clothes on. Anyway long story short I found out the new warranty would cover stage 3&4 capsular contracture up to 10 years. Which was a real concern for me. So I am happy to go with the Ideal. Dr. Davis came in and talked to me for 2 mins! I was really shocked that he didn't spend more time discussing what look I was wanting. He relies on the vectra imaging a lot. When I mentioned projection he told me not to worry about it. In some ways I think I expected more time with the Dr because of all the reviews I have read. The reason I am not too bothered by it is because I loved his previous work. So I know that I will get a more natural look. Anyway I ended up looking at the vectra imaging again but this time I asked to see 400cc's. Just to see them in comparison to 360cc's. I was surprised with how much I liked them. I was just afraid that I have such a small frame that they would end up looking very big on me. So with the help of the nurse and one of the girls in the office I decided on 350 overfilled to 375cc's.
